GOR MAHIA IMETOKA MBALI - A NARRATION BY Dr. Jarunda Kenyan football fans fall under different age groups and cartels and Gor Mahia fans are not exceptional. And each cartel has different version of players’ history to write. I don not believe one can give a complete Mighty Gor Mahia history without mentioning Technical adviser Danish Jack Jonson. I feel Gor Mahia team of 1987 was stronger and could go places or play for any competitive league be it Barclay premier league, la-liga or bundesliga and win titles. That midfield composed of Abbas Khamisi Magongo, John Zangi Okello, Charles Odhiambo Otieno “engine”, George Odembo Nyangi; George “Fundi” Onyango defending midfielder Isaiah Omondi “Japollo” (spoiler) was so articulated and polished that could adjust and change to any situation depending on their opponents counter attacks. Remember the saying "Gor: Four- Four- Four!" Was the origin of this team under Coach Len Julians. Reinhardt fabisch recruited almost this team in the Harambee Stars of 1987 for All Africa games silver medalists. Defense was solid and composed under Captain Austin Oduor (Makamu) and the strikers were marauding lead by Peter Dawo “Omuga” Owadgi Jarunda, Ja Asembo. The match to be recalled was Gor Mahia VS Peter Rufai “sorry” Rufai as goal keeper Dragon Eueme - Benin. It was a second half and the whole stadium was dead silence. Throw in by Toby “Jakomalla” Ochola and flashing header by Peter Dawo flooring Nigerian Super keeper Benin side Peter Rufai did everything to see Mighty Gor to the finals of Nelson Mandela Cup (Cup winners cup) against Esperance of Tunisia. Do not forget Eagle eyed goal keeper Davis Ochieng Odek “Kamoga” and his counterpart Taurus Omondi “tairero” Do is say!! Strikers led by Omuga, there was Sammy Jogoo in left flank and Antony Ndolo in the right flank, not to mention Ben “break-dance” Oloo It was wonderful. But do not forget “The six million dollar man” John Bobby Ogolla, Was part and parcel of this team. Long leave!!!!!!!! Mighty Kogallo. KA APARO TO PI WENGENA EMA TON #GINIWASEKAO
